[News] We can see this clearly from our house...

Fire threatens Swan Valley homes.






A few of the neighbours have come out to watch. It is oddly beautiful. There are, however, spot fires everywhere.

I hope everyone is safe.

gods that is really scary. I hope it won't come near you. I hope everyone is safe too.

Oh dear. I remember something very similar happening when I was on holiday a few years ago. I hope everybody will be alright.

I hope everyone is safe too. The picture looks amazing though, as does the seen out on the front porch.

*hugs*

Eek! I hope you stay safe.

that looks far too close for comfort. *shudder*

Is it normal for australia to have this many fires in the summer? I'd really only heard about them last year when they were ridiculously horrible.

keep safe!

Oh, dear... :(

I hope everyone will be safe.

Oh dear, that's too close. :-( Keep your roof wet if you can...sparks can float for miles. Stay safe.

Igg. The smoke bothering you? It was like that here some years back, and I could barely move from feeling so weak. The smoke in the air just made it impossible to get a good deep breath...hope that's not happening to you!

Hope they manage to get it out soon.

Oh dear... that's scary!

Is it a natural phenomenon that your bushland burns like this in summer, or is it anthropogenic?

Either way, it's an awesome and terrifying spectacle to witness. Hopefully it calms down and no on (animal or human) is hurt.

Oh my gosh! Stay safe!

My gods. Watery prayers going out to that area...

I hope everyone will be okay, and that it steers clear of your lovely home. *hugs*

Oh, how scary. Stay safe!

[identity profile] welshwmn3.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn. That's too close.

Get out if you need to.


As an aside, it's weird, but when I clicked to see the picture, I had the scent of "major fire" for a few minutes.

Holy cripes. Be safe!

Fire bad!

Don't be one of those people that sticks around. If that gets too close, get the Hel outta there.

I'll add my hopes that everyone stays safe and non-crispy.

Scary! I hope it stays away from you.

Ick... it's that time of the year again .. blah! At least WA has great systems in place (compared to others >.> like VIC) to deal with fires, I haven't heard anything this morning, hope they have it under control soon. Stay safe :)

Hope you stay safe, bushfires are scary.

[identity profile] storm-seeker.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. It's very beautiful and all too daunting when keeping in mind you're viewing it from your front porch.

Can you smell it at all? Has Moet reacted to it? *curious*

I hope you and everyone in the area are safe too.

Holy crap! That would have been amazing to watch, but I hope it doesn't get too close to you.
